问题     In some cases, intelligent people implementing intelligent policies are responsible for producing a "boomerang effect"; they actually create more of whatever it is they seek to reduce in the first place.
    The boomerang effect has been achieved many times in recent years by men and women of goodwill. State legislatures around the nation have recently raised the drinking age back to 21 in an effort to reduce the prevalence of violent deaths among our young people. But such policies seem instead to have created the conditions for even more campus violence. Some college students who previously drank in bars and lounges under the watchful supervision of bouncers (夜总会、酒吧等保安 人员) (not to mention owners eager to keep their liquor licenses) now retreat to the sanctuary of their fraternity houses and apartments, where they no longer control their behavior — or their drinking.
    The boomerang effect has also played a role in attempts to reduce the availability of illicit drugs. During recent years, the fields are burned and contraband(违禁品) confiscated, the price of street drugs has skyrocketed to a point where cheap alternatives have begun to compete in the marketplace. Unfortunately, the cheap alternatives are even more harmful than the illicit drugs the replace.

选项
答案     但是，这些政策似乎反而为滋生更多的校园暴力事件创造了条件。之前那些在酒吧和夜总会酗酒的大学生还会受到酒吧保安人员的严密监管(更不用说那些还想保住售酒许可证的店主们了)，现在他们都躲进了大学的联谊会会堂和公寓里，在那里他们再也不用约束自己的行为——直白地说就是酗酒行为。
    这种反向效应在减少非法药品流通方面同样会起到反作用。近年来，联邦政府成功遏制了街头毒品的供应。由于贩毒场所被摧毁，违禁药品被没收，街头毒品的价格迅速飙升。以至于廉价的替代品开始在市面上大行其道。不幸的是，这些廉价替代品比那些非法药品的危害性还要大。
